Musings and Stuff Pt 3

First Things First:

Book Three is...almost done! About 75% done. Well, at least the writing part. I'll still need to edit, but I've got some time set aside for that (obviously). But it feels good to be coming up to the finale of the story and mostly on schedule too. I'm excited to publish it. Hopefully you guys will like it as much as I do :P

ARC List!

I've set up a sign up form for ARC Readers on my website; there's also an external link. As soon as the book is ready, I'll let everyone know so they can go to the hosting site (in this case, BookSprout) and download from there.

Ooooo, things are moving along!

Misc. Stuff

The usual reminders...got stuff if you want stuff, at CafePress and Society6. I ordered some stickers from Society6 for the giveaway that's coming up - I'm quite happy with them. Kinda want to keep them myself...but I won't ;P

Also...<spooky ghost voice> BUY MY BOOOOOKS </spooky ghost voice>

Best way to get some backstory for Book Three. Not strictly necessary, but useful all the same.

Snowed In (ebook and paperback)
Smoked Out (ebook and paperback)

Pet Tax

This lovable goof ball is Bailey, aka Bailor the Conqueror, aka Dog. He's a mutt. We think he's mostly shepherd/husky, but who knows. Here he is hamming it up for the camera last summer while relaxing under the lilacs.

Terrible Minds Flash Fiction Challenge - Strange Photos

Thought I'd have a go at one of these. Challenge was to search "Strange Photos" and pick one, write 1000 (or 1146, in this case) or so words of whatever comes to mind because of it. My dip into the 'strange photos' section of Google Images dumped me right in the lap of the Merrilyn Cryptid Museum which is full of the apparently re-discovered remains of various mythological creatures, all preserved and displayed all scientific and stuff. Anyway, here is... dun dun dun... The Collector Photo Credit: Alex CF 2016 In the basement, the boxes lie. A rustling of parchment. Flicker of the gas lamps. Scratching of nib against paper. But otherwise, silence. And a forest of boxes. The man at the desk put down his pen and blotted the ink. He surveyed his handiwork, double checking for mistakes. There were none, so he spread a layer of paste in the appropriate space and pressed the label into it: Homomimus Alatus (Common Fae) Abov

Writing Tip Wednesday

Weekly Disclaimer Thing : Writing, like all art, is a subjective experience. Stuff that works for me won't necessarily work for you...though I hope it does, since I'd love for everyone to succeed. Can never have enough books to read! Either way, take these tips with the giant grain of salt needed to season it to your liking, since I could very well be talking out my ass. So, last week was a little bit about Fiddling, and the bare bones of my editing process. This week will be...Outlining. (Dun dun duuuuun!) I know people hate outlining. It can be frustrating. But you really should outline your stories. Really. Even if you're a born Pantser, you should still outline just a little bit. It makes things so much faster . Which reminds me, I really need to re-outline my current WIP, since I'm getting lost in the middle. And that's the thing - the outline can change. If you're in the middle of writing what you've faithfully plot

Miscellaneous Monday

Miscellaneous Monday Wherein I Babble About Random Things THE BOOKS HAVE GONE WIDE! Well, at least two of them have. The third is still waiting out its term in KU, but as soon as that's done...Woo! So, Snowed In and Smoked Out are both available on multiple platforms now! Including Kobo SUPER PRETTY LINKS: Snowed In Smoked Out So yeah. Check them out, if you want. They're both still available on Amazon, of course, as paperbacks as well. Cherry Update I've washed, pitted, bagged and frozen...40 cups of cherries so far. Which is approximately 10 L of them. I'll use about 4cups/batch of whatever it is I'm making (jam or pie filling or whathaveyou), so I'll have a lot of canning to do. Especially since I've still got another ~10L left to pit. And apples to pick. Speaking of jam, I used the raspberries from the garden and some blueberries from the store to make jam today. I friggin love the colour: Yes, I know my c
